Sabrina, I love your questions! You always make me laugh because of your great sense of humor!
I'd still trim the leaves back. It gives the roots more of an advantage that way. I'm moving about 1/3 of my daylilies to a new garden area, and moving others into their old place, and leaving most of the dirt on the roots. They are passing out left and right, even with the leaves being trimmed. They are also turning a lovely shade of yellow. But, I'm not the least bit worried. I know that they will be fine! They really are tough plants!
